Avian de Keizer\, 2023\, United States\, 3min. \nT4T is a short Super 8 experimental film about trans love and the medical system. \nAccess notes: Flashing Imagery. \n  \nLC39-A\, Dir. Josipa Anton\, 2026\, United States\, 4min. \nA short experimental documentary about the Space Race by filmmaker Josipa Anton\, LC-39A utilizes NASA archival footage and poetry by Bertolt Brecht to explore the march of history and technological progress as it intersects with ideology and cultural memory. \n  \nLunch Poems (Remix)\, Dir. J Triangular\, 2026\, Colombia\, Taiwan\, NYC\, 4min. \nIn Lunch Poems (Remix)\, J dusts off VHS tapes recorded in 2017 with their friend and collaborator Miss Expanding Universe (Ashley Yang-Thompson). They remix them into a fiery manifesto and intimate video diary — a collage of poetic art adventures in the streets of New York. The film captures the raw energy of poets claiming the city\, blending performance\, diary\, and queer rebellion. A hypnotic soundtrack of fragments sung by the poet threads the work together\, creating a bold\, immersive experience.\n \n  \nObjectionable Fruit\, Dirs. Hogan Seidel\, Gabby Follett\, 2026\, United States\, Canada\, Germany\, 15 min. \nObjectionable Fruit is an experimental documentary examining the Ginkgo tree\, a living fossil celebrated for its resilience and unique capacity to change sexes\, defying human-imposed binaries. Using the Ginkgo as a metaphor for fluidity and endurance\, the film weaves together themes of gender identity\, ecological interconnectedness\, and the nuanced complexities of queer existence. \nAccess notes: Flashing Imagery. \n  \nA CURE FOR SCARS\, Dir. Autojektor\, 2026\, United Kingdom\, 3 min. \nRestoration//Cleanses with Fire. The machine reclaims the ugly body. And replaces it with a digestible corpse. A Futile conversion. Pointless violence. \nAccess notes: Flashing Imagery. \n  \nTTT (Tᄐト)\, Dir. kimura byol lemoine\, 2025\, Canada\, 3 min. \n‘In the 100th episode of “Testo du jeudi” (TTT in English)\, Roman\, Korean (Hangeul) and Japanese (Katana) syllabic alphabets feature the word ‘TRANS’ in a sketch by Kě.’  \n  \nMarked\, Dir. Wrik Mead\, 2026\, Canada\, 3 min. \nMarked is an experimental film that merges Super 8 and 16mm formats to examine the presence of queer intimacy. At its center are two shirtless men\, locked in an embrace\, dancing — a quiet yet radical act. Overlaid with hand-inked 16mm film\, their bodies become both seen and obscured\, highlighted and erased. Through this layered process\, Marked reflects on how queer love is shaped\, celebrated\, and scarred by the society that surrounds it. \nAccess notes: Flashing Imagery. \n  \nTrivakra\, Dir. Sofia Angst\, 2025\, Brazil\, 10 min. \nTrivakra moves through the memories of a child\, crossed by gender biotechnologies that reshape their body and their history. The gushing syringe of a travesti ritual of hormonal transmutation opens a glitch in the matrix of gender and video\, where bones and skins are dematerialized into cyberspace. \nAccess notes: Flashing imagery\, flashing lights\, loud noises. \n  \nunbelong\, Dir. Pars Loren\, 2025\, Germany\, Türkiye\, 9 min. \nAt its heart\, unbelong is a philosophical inquiry posed through visceral experience. The narrated poem questions whether we move through time or time moves through us\, capturing the profound stillness of a moment when everything changes. It’s about the act of abandoning a home that abandoned you first\, and the sharp blade hidden in the question\, “Where are you from?“ unbelong is for anyone who understands that migration is not a simple journey but a rupture\, and that for some\, movement is not freedom but a painful necessity for survival. It is a work of grief\, hope\, and transformation. \nContent notes: Discussion of police violence\, transphobia. \n  \nthe bird sings with its fingers\, Dir. Marguerite Carson\, 2025\, Australia\, United Kingdom\, 5 min. \nSeabirds dip in and out of frame drawing on the ancient divination of the flights of birds\, asking when is a prophecy encountered and when is it voiced. \nDonate: \nDonate to SQIFF via PayPal or sign up to one of our four Patreon tiers to support our work and show us you’re a big SQIFF fan 🌈✨ \n  \nSupported by Screen Scotland\, the BFI Audience Projects Fund and Film Hub Scotland (part of the BFI Film Audience Network)\, all awarding National Lottery funding. \n  \nImage Credit: Trivakra\, Dir.
